Chicken and Bulgar Wheat Recipe
Serves 2
Cooking Time 30-45 mins
A sweat and tasty one pot dish that isn't too difficult to prepare.
(Picture above had parsley but I prefer it without)
One of my all time favourite dishes. It tastes great and you only need one pot to cook it. The Chicken could easily be substituted for a meat alternative if you wanted a vegetarian option.
